Sharp Park: USGA chief appeals to SF Mayor

It’s not at all surprising to hear Mike Davis, executive director of the United States Golf Association (USGA), supports a historic public course such as Sharp Park.

It’s a bit surprising to hear Davis was willing to wade into messy political waters — especially in the city where the U.S. Open will be held in less than six months.

Davis wrote a letter to San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee this week, according to Golfweek. The letter expressed Davis’ support for Sharp Park and his concern over the resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. That measure could lead to the closure of Sharp Park, though Lee still has the power to veto.
